I will also add that an interesting phenomenon that we have seen in the US with radio stations designed to appeal to nostalgic Gen-Xers is that every now and then, songs that were not big chart successes in their day but that were pushed heavily on university radio stations or by certain shows on MTV are treated as if they had been hits.

I assume that this video was put together from a British perspective. I grew up in the US, and when I became aware that the British had their own top-40 chart, I was surprised by how different it could be.

In my recollection, the songs from this list that were big charting hits in the USA were:

1) Safety Dance

2) 99 Red Balloons

3) Centerfold (pardon the American spelling)

4) Breakout

5) Rhythm of the Night

6) Mickey

7) Waiting for a Star to Fall

99 red balloons is hardly forgotten, every single 80's compilation you will ever have has it. A lot of the other stuff there... well i can see why it was 'forgotten'... hehe.
